I am Nina. Yesterday our manager, Mr Cole, held a team meeting, and I wrote down what he said so I could share it with colleagues who were absent.
Mr Cole said that the company was performing well this quarter. He told us that sales had increased in three regions, and he said that customer feedback had improved since April. He also said that he was proud of our effort.
He told me that my report on supply costs was clear and useful. He said that he had read it twice, and he told the finance team that they should use my tables in the next presentation. I felt relieved because he said that the deadline had been tight.
Mr Cole said that a new client would join the project the following week. He told us that the client was based in Dublin, and he said that their team would visit our office on Wednesday. He told HR that they should prepare welcome packs before that day.
He said that office hours would remain flexible until December. He told staff that they could work from home on Fridays if their tasks allowed it. He also said that managers would review the policy again in January.
Mr Cole told the design group that the brand guidelines had changed. He said that the marketing director had approved new colours, and he told us that we should download the updated files from the shared folder. He said that old templates would not be valid after the end of the month.
He said that training sessions would start soon. He told new hires that they would attend workshops on safety and data protection. He told experienced staff that refresher courses were optional but recommended.
During questions, Tom asked about overtime. Mr Cole said that overtime needed prior approval. He told Tom that project leads could authorise extra hours, and he said that payments would appear on the next payslip.
Lisa asked about the canteen. Mr Cole said that the caterer had raised prices slightly. He told her that meal vouchers would cover the difference until the new contract was signed. He said that vegetarian options had improved, according to recent surveys.
Before closing, Mr Cole said that communication was essential. He told everyone that they should read weekly updates and reply when action was required. He said that he would send a summary email that afternoon.
After the meeting, I told my teammate James what Mr Cole had said about remote work. James said that he had hoped for more clarity, but I told him that the policy sounded reasonable. We agreed that we would check the summary when it arrived.
Reporting what Mr Cole said helped the whole team stay aligned. Every statement he made became information we could act on, and writing it down made the backshift in tenses feel natural in context.
